Практика внедрения методологий показала, что компании спустя рукава пытаются приобщиться к результативным техникам. За десятки лет внедрения разных методологий и стандартов, накопился опыт как саксесс стори, так и факап стори. Почему не получается внедрить гибкие методологии? Многие компании уж очень сильно педалируют Agile, Scrum, не отдавая себе отчет в том, что это не просто "сделай 1-2-3"! Смотрим презентацию! Здесь описаны основные эффекты, которые должны знать все, кто внедряет гибкие методологии. Прокачайте своего скрам мастера в психологии и повысьте эффективность!
И руководителя тоже надо прокачать...
Нельзя внедрить часть методологии, без понимания основ - что из чего проистекает :)

Секреты управления командой: психология на страже ИТ-проектов. Просто о сложном! :)
www.cmcons.com
Видео с семинара и отчет тут - http://cmcons.com/articles/psy/meetup_36_2016_report/
Статистика показывает, что Agile-проекты с большей вероятностью заканчиваются в срок, чем водопадные. Но та же статистика показывает, что и Agile-проекты факапятся. Вне зависимости от выбора методологии или инструментов руководители либо могут собрать и замотивировать команду, либо не могут. Конечно, суперская команда, решающая задачи, в которой все друг другу помогают и нацелены на результат, может образоваться сама… в теории. Но на практике это работа руководителя (тимлида). В психологии наработана теоретическая и практическая база, которую можно и нужно использовать в ИТ; мало того — Agile этим и пользуется. Только есть одно "но": зачастую предлагается некая техника — без объяснения — "делай так и все будет хорошо!" Для наших пытливых ИТ-умов этого недостаточно! Команда — это живой организм, со всеми присущими живому существу особенностями. Цель доклада — показать основные закономерности в общении лидер-команда и лидер-сотрудник. Команда — это не аморфная и абстрактная масса, а организм, который рождается, живет и умирает, в котором протекают процессы, и не только рабочие, но и психологические. Также в докладе будут рассмотрены основные психологические моменты, влияющие как на команду, так и на каждого ее члена в отдельности.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

8. Configuration
Configuring the application consists in configuring record type settings on the Record
type settings tab (see Figure 8 – Configuring record type). In CM, the record type is a task to
be performed. Record type settings are password protected: to change the settings, you need to
enter the application administrator password (see Figure 7 – Restricting configuration
changes). This restriction is set up to ensure the SS CQTT stability. Configuration of record type
settings should be performed by the administrator. The default administrator password is set to
the current month, day and time in the format MMDDHH.
Figure 7 – Restricting configuration changes
Configuration includes selecting relevant parameters from the lists, populated on basis of
the connected schema. If you have not selected a value from a list, the list is marked by the sign
, and you cannot save changes or continue working. Every field has a tool tip explaining its
purpose.
